Hey guys,
I have had a search through the forum's and I am yet to see an actual answer why something like this would not work, so I thought I would overview what I am trying to achieve, how I have implemented it, and the issue I am facing.
I'm trying to add custom inventory items (Inheriting CA_Magazine) via the mission file. I dont need to use new textures nor new models - I just need to modify the class name so it becomes a unique item.
I have created the following file and imported it via description.ext:
*cfgMagazines2.hpp*
class CfgMagazines {
class CA_Magazine; // External class reference
class WM_Master : CA_Magazine {
scope = public;
count = 1;
type = 256;
displayName = "Generic";
descriptionShort = "Generic";
model = "\dayz_equip\models\cloth_parcel.p3d";
picture = "\dayz_equip\textures\equip_cloth_parcel_ca.paa";
};
};
This works all good and well with no errors until I spawn the item in (Problem isnt with this - I have spent hours trying every possible combination of "addMagazineCargo").
Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMagazines.WM_Master'.
Warning Message: No entry '.picture'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value
Warning Message: No entry '.scope'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value
Warning Message: Error: creating magazine WM_Master with scope=private
And so on and so on.
So I can establish that this is purely client side - as the server RPT doesnt log these errors.
Is it a restriction of the engine that it will always search the config.bin for this information instead of where the class is actually declared? Is there no way to override this?
